Howdy all,
I picked up a 1996 15' Whaler Rage with bad OMC 115 over the winter ($1,000 with trailer) intending to install a bracket and outboard.
sraab928 has been very helpful, including the idea of using heat to remove the drive unit, which worked VERY well. I ended up placing a couple propane torches in the water mouth of the unit, which heated the whole thing fairly evenly. Removed it a coupld hours ago.
A fellow who makes brackets is working on one right now for a 15' Rage, he can make a duplicate for me, all aluminum and will provide some flotation, setup for a 20" shaft engine.
Next step is go glass in the hole. Will keep thread updated.
